TOLEDO, Ohio, Aug. 12.-Particulars
have Just reached here from Tampico,
Mexico, of a strange duel between Sc
nor Victoria, a mining speculator, and
Senior Pedrazo, an extensive ship own
er. Both gentlemen met at a ball
given by three OF the chief ladies of
Spanish society. The gentlemen,
while heated with wine, quarreled in
the presence Of lady whom they both
admired. Senior VictOriO challenged
Senior Pedrazo, who accepted the chal-
lenge and stipulated that the duel
must take place in a dark room. As
Pedrazo had the choice of weapons he
demanded that Victoria meet him in a
room where there should be placed a
hundred tarantulas Of the most poi
sonous kind; that each was to devote
his energies toward killing the taran-
tulas, instead of fighting his opponent,
and neither must leave the room until
all the poisonous insects were killed.
The duel was fought in room as dark

as dungeon. There were no seconds
and no one at Tampico suspected the
truth. When the doors were broken
open both men were found on the
moor dead, surrounded by the horrible
spiders, some dead and some still
alive.
Terrible Famine In Turkey.
BosToN, Aug. ia letter just re-
ceived at the missionary rooms from
Kev. F. F. Montgomery, under date of
Adana, Turkey, July 23d, says: "The
famine sufferers have increased quite
beyond our ability tc care for them,
and the municipal council at Adana
Is not able or willing to help the poor,
and wishing to show as small num-
Der as possible ordered the enrolment
OF only the poorest-those who had
sold everything out of their houses,
even their beds. The enrolment
reached 5000 souls. Bitter complaints
and cries came to us, also, from Tar
sus, koosOlok, Lisses and many other
towns and villages. The number to
be aided will reach 10000 or 10000.

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
The S0ns-in-Law of a Georgia LO.
thariO Accused of Killing Him.

ATLANTA. Ca, April 1.-THE two
sons-in-law of Zelom Sheffield, of Willing
ton, were placed in Early county Jail last
night, on indictments by the grand jury
charging them with the murder OF their
father-in-law. Sheffield was a man of un-
bridled passions in his youth. Later he
adopted two illegtimate daughters and
gave them good education. The girls
subsequently, married Rufus Lawrence and
Ben TallafeirO. the sons of respectable
farmers. Sheffield then took into the house
a mulatto son, John Sheffield, who be-
came noted criminal and cattle
thief. The father indulged his eolored
son to such an extent that his fortune, if
was feared, Swui,iarb dissipated. Because
of this Sheffield and his two daughterstfeif'
out and then the assassination of Sheffield
was reported. Suspicion at once fell upon
the sons-in-law. who, in turn. tried to fasten
the crime upon the mulatto son. who was
asleep in the room with Sheffield at the
time he was shot. Rewards were offered
by the state and local authorities for the
arrest OF the murdererS, but all apparently
to no purpose. The grand jury has been
looking into the matter for a week and the
result of its action was the arrest OF the
young men, Lawrence and Tallafeiro.
They will be called up for trial Tuesday,
and some lively developments are promised.
The sentiment of the county is in favor of
the two young men. 1t is alleged that
Sheffield had threatened to disinherit his
daughters in favor of his negro son.

louisville, Pa, April IA shocking
accident occurred in the mine of the Cham
berlain colliery at St. Clair this afternoon.
Miss Berllsta Shaul, of Sharon Springs, N.
T., student of Vassar college. was visit
ng Miss Minnie Keiter, Of st. Clair, fell
low student. The two young ladies, in
company with young man named Harry
Short, and Edwin Thompson. one of the
operators of the coIliery, entered the mine
for the purpose of giving Miss Shaul an OPP
portunity to inspect the operation of mining
coal. The mine had not been working for
week, and NONE but the party of ex-
plorers were inside at the time In an ad-
lacent working, however. were Albert
thompson, another of the firm, and several
others, who were making examinations Of
the works. They were startled by a heavy
explosion and knowing that the party had
entered the other slope, they hastened
thither to investigate. About $50 yards
from the foot of the slope they
came upon Messrs. Short and Thompson
and the two ladies lying upon the ground
unconscious and frighttully burned and
nangled. They were taken out and med
ical attention obtained. Miss Keiters face
was burned beyond recognition, her skull
and thigh fractured and ankle crushed.
She died this evening. Miss Shaul had
leg badly fractured and was terribly bruised
and burned, but may recover. Shorts head
is mass of cuts and he is badly burned.
He remained unconscious and his recovery
is doubtful Thompson is painfully but
not fatally bruised. The precise cause of
the explosion is unknown, but the supposi-
ton is that the party carried naked lamp
and encountered body of fire damp,
which, ignited from the lamp. exploded
with tremendous force The lady victims
are about twenty years of age and both
were well connected. Miss Shaul was to

Wisconsin Legislature.

special TO tne GlODe.
MADISON, Wis. April 11.-Both branches
of the legislature met tonight. The for
mality of considering bills in committee Of
the whole was dispensed with and mme-
date action taken ON them. The house
passed Bartholf's registry bill, which posi-
lively prohibits electors in cities having a
population of between 5000 and 10000
from voting unless registered one week be-
fore election. 1t also passed bill author
izing the construction of dam cross the
st. CroiX river in Polk county. A resolu-
ton similar to the one considered in the
early part of the session, proposing an
amendment to the constitution so as to re-
quire foreigners to become full citizens of
the United States before they can vote in
this state, was killed. The SEN
ate resolution providing for the
submission to the people of the
question of holding convention to revise
the state constitution was refused concur
renee; also the bill providing punishment
for vagrancy and beggars. Bills were con-
cured in providing for change of place of
trial in bastardy cases, and authorizing the
construction of bridge across the Missis-
sippi river at any point between La Crosse
and Prairie du Chen. The senate passed
a bill requiring property holders to give a
truthful report to assessors, and providing
fine of from $25 to $500 for failing to do
SO. and concurred in the bill appropriating
1900 annually to be divided among the
various county fairs. The committee ap-
pointed to investigate the expenditures of
the state university buildings will report to-
morrow. The report is being looked for
ward to with much interest by the members
and friends of the university.

The combination to rob a freight train me-
cessitated the guilty knowledge and actual
participation of the conductor or middle
brakeman, one or more, and the rear brake
man or flagman. 1t did not of necessity
take in the front brakeman or tiagman, nor
the engineer or fireman, but the others had
to be in to make it work. Fires were in
progress to-day all along the line of the
Panhandle road. made up of stuff out of the
caboose cars. Word was telegraphed along
the road for the particulars of each case.
Freight trains have hauled up at water sta
tions and delay made till the caboose was
swept and garnished, and in doing so evi-
dence has been procured against unsus-
pected railroad men, which it will be hard
to overturn. Almost every man arrested
had from one to ten pawn tickets for all
sorts of articles Oh his person. 1t is alleged
that every pawn shop i'll the two cities is
represented on the tickets. An amount of
several thousand dollars is said to be recov-
cradle in this way alone. About the Pan
handle yards to-day there was a scene of
Quletness. The crews that had been ar
rested had left large number of trains de-
serted. There were twenty-four of these
trains piled closely together on the side
tracks in the yards. The detention of
freight, however, was only temporary.
An extra force of sixty men had been en-
ployed. These were put Oh the deserted
trains in place of the arrested employees.
Special Agent Rue stated tonight that
THE TOTAL ARRESTS
number sixty, OF whom there are fifty-siX
in the Plttsburg Jail. One of the men
named Black was released on bail. j. F.
Gibbs was also released this evening. He
is al officer of the company, and his arrest
was mistake. Two of the men in the
Pittsburg jail are from Dennison, o. Two
others arrested at Dennis0n are still there.
Another arrest, that of Elmer Young, was
made at East Palestine, 0. Deputy Mayor
Gripp. before whom the warrants were
sworn out, has fixed the hearing for next
Monday at 10 a. IN. The Office of Detective
Gilkeson is crowded with the many trunks
and stolen goods, all of which have been
Labelled as from whom taken, the date and
conditions. They will all be guarded to be
used as evidence against the men. The
goods there are valued at several thousand
dollars. which may be greatly Increased by
the contents of the dozen or more trunks
which have not yet been opened. At the
Jail all was quiet and no more prisoners
were expected tonight. 1t is understood
that no more arrests will be made here. In
fact Mr.. Rue said they had all the men
wanted. except few no longer connected
with the Panhandle road. who are located
and will be arrested within the next few
days.
AT a late hour tonight j. r. Dunlap. who
is regarded as the ringleader of the gang,
made a confession to the detectives in
which he implicated several outsiders and
